I Got a Gal
B.B. King Lyrics


All of your affection is gone baby and your love is growing cold
I've said all of your affection is gone baby and your love is growing cold
Hey, I've got a new story to tell you this evening, baby
One that ain't never been told

I went to work the other day
But I thought that I would double back
And that car I saw sitting in front of my door
Looked like a brand new, a brand new Cadillac, yeah!
I ain't got none now baby
I think you've been cheating on me
I believe to my soul baby, that you've given me some outside help
That I don't think I really need

The iceman came by this morning
And you know he didn't leave no ice
The postman came by later baby
And he didn't even ring twice

I think you've been cheating on me
I think you're running out on me
I believe to my soul baby, that you've given me some outside help
That I don't think I really need

Now, I want you to tell the iceman
The next time he'd better leave some ice
And I want you to tell the postman
He'd better ring more than twice

And when I come home from work in the morning
Better still be some groceries on the shelf
I want to tell that slick insurance man
That he'd better write some insurance on his self

Yes, I think you've been cheating on me
I think you're running out on me
I believe to my soul baby, that you've given me some help, some help
Some help, I don't really need

I've got a good mind to give up living, and go shopping
Instead
I say, I've got a good mind to give up living, and go
Shopping instead
To pick up me a tombstone, and be pronounced dead

When I read your letter this morning, that was in your
Place in bed
I read your letter this morning, that was in your place
In bed
And that's when I decided, that I would be better off
Dead

It read, there is no use you looking, or ever hoping to
Get me back
Oh, there's no use you looking, or ever hoping to get me
Back
Yes, because it's all over now, and baby you can bet on
That

Tengo buena memoria ...

Tengo una buena memoria para renunciar a la vida,
he ir de compras en su lugar.
Yo digo, tengo buena memoria para renunciar a la vida,
he ir de compras en su lugar.
Recoger una lápida y ser declarado muerto.

Cuando leí tu carta esta mañana
que estaba en tu lugar en la cama.
Leí su carta esta mañana
que estaba en tu lugar en la cama.
Y ahí es cuando decidí,
que estaría mejor muerto.

Decía, no hay necesidad que tu busques,
ni nunca la esperanza de hacerme volver
Oh, no hay necesidad que tu busques, ,
ni nunca la esperanza de hacerme volver
Sí, porque todo ha terminado ahora,
y puedes cariño apostar por eso.

Two years later Peter Green would take this BB King gem to another level.

@b9r4u7no

If more people see this video, the world would be a better place to live

@paititi

All three versions are fabulous: BB's original, FM/Peter Green's tour d' force, and Bloomfield's/Butterfield's masterpiece.

@SuperMCFIVE

The Blues keeps me alive

And how great all three are at our fingertips for free- thank you YouTube.

This is B.B. at his absolute BEST, which is saying something.  I haven't heard Greenie's version, but Mike Bloomfield's solo on this tune on East/West is gets my vote as the most masterful blues solo ever recorded! But I'm going to listen to PG now...

@robomaster4882

After the Bloomfield solo where Paul comes back in and sings the next verse Bloomfield plays three notes in response. Those notes are just dripping with feeling and soul that cannot be taught. It sounds like the guitar itself is in emotional pain. The way they are played cannot be duplicated by reading sheet music by even the most skillful guitar players.

@briantaylor2.023

The original version by BB King (this video) has the most soul, but Peter Green/Fleetwood Mac’s version has BY FAR the most masterful guitar work of all 3 of the versions of this song. Peter is CRIMINALLY underrated! Back in his day, he was called “better than Clapton” by MANY!
